As you can suspect, this film relates the story of the Mexican painter Frida Khalo. The actress Salma Hayek, in one of her best performances, represents faithfully all the pain that devastated the life of the artist, from the infidelities of her husband, the painter Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), to the polio that suffered, joined to the bus accident and the surgery operations that made her end up in a bed until her death, or her disability to have children. Her paintings, full of colour, gather all the suffering in a sublime way, as Diego says at the end of the film "her works are acid and tender, though as steel and light as the wing of a butterfly. Kind as a smile and cruel as the bitterness of life".

Repasando algunas fotos de la auténtica Frida, me sorprendió lo fiel que es el vestuario al estilo de la pintora. De un estilo europeo en su juventud pasó a trajes folclóricos, más del gusto de su marido Diego. Ropajes llenos de brocados, de colores vivos. Acostumbraba a llevar la larga trenza alrededor de la cabeza, así como flores, pendientes y collares muy vistosos. Además, siempre poseía un chal que arropaba sus brazos. Basándome en esta idea, me gustó el contraste entre rojo y verde que viste el día de su boda, y manteniendo los estampados y los complementos mencionados, surgió este outfit, que en lugar de trenza, lleva dos horquillas con flores./ Looking for some pics of the autentic Frida, I got suprised by how faithful is the wardrobe of the film to the artist´s style. She changed her European clothes of her youth for ethnic and folcloric outfits, in order to satisfy her husband. Clothes full of brocades and strong colours, she used to have a long plait around her head and flowers. Her complements were always big and colourful necklaces and earrings, and a pashmina over her arms. Based on this idea, I liked the contrast between green and red of her wedding look, and keeping the patterns and the mentioned complements, I ended up with this outfit:

Y no podía acabar este post sin recoger algunos de los cuadros de Frida: /And I couldn´t end this post with out uploading some Frida paintings:

From perfect smiles to a new beauty canon leaded by imperfections. One of them is the "separate teeth", an unhealthy trend. For celebs such as Lara Stone, Georgia Jagger or Vanessa Paradis is a feature that makes them different, and in orthodontics the current obsession is trying to get that effect, as the Spanish designer, David Delfín, for example, did. And you, would you get into this particular trend?

5. Y por último aunque no menos importante, lo más característico de él, los tirantes!! Dos looks geniales de Olga de O´Style y de Sea of Shoes/ And last but not least, suspenders!! Two gorgeous looks by Olga from O´Style and Sea of Shoes.

Pero no solamente eso, sino que tienen sus versiones Oysho (izq.), Zara (centro) y Blanco (derecha)./ Not only that, brands have their own version such as Oysho (left), Zara (middle) and Blanco (right).

Conclusión: Urkel era de lo más in, pero claro, cada prenda por separado porque la mezcla puede ser una auténtica bomba atómica. A menos que os queráis disfrazar, que en tal caso, lo tendréis muy fácil;). Espero que os haya gustado el post, siento que sea tan largo!/ Urkel was in, but of course, each clothe on its own, because the mix is a kind of atomic bomb^^ unless you want to dress up for a party, in that case you can do it easily;). Hope you like the post and sorry for the lenght!

Edito para desearos un buen finde y un buen comienzo de semana, que estaré fuera unos días. Hasta la vuelta!:D/ Hope you have a good weekend and a good beginning of the week, i´ll be off several days. Bye!

The painted veil is one of those films you fall in love with, from the plot to the scenaries, that are absolutely wonderful. Based on the homonym novel by William Somerset Maugham and set in the 20´s of the XX century, it relates the stoy of Walter Fane (Edward Norton), an English doctor who marries Kitty (Naomi Watts), a girl from a wealthy family who sees the marriage as the only way to escape from her annoying life. However, when they move to Shangai, she realises of her huge mistake and falls in love with another man. When Walter finds out her infidelity, as a revenge he accepts a job in a remote village in order to contain the firts outbreaks of a colera epidemic. A journey in which love will emerge, giving sense to their marriage and their own lifes.

Today i fancy use a soundtrack for this editorial, and i have thought that it couldn´t be any better song than Soul meets body by Death Cab for Cutie (the title of the post is a silly word game, I know^^).

I have fallen in love with the Elie Saab Haute Couture a/w 2010-11. Gowns in red, nude and patterns that evoke the colours of the earth, with fabrics as light as air, bringing out the sensuality of the women´s body. Pure magnetism, judge yourself.

I was one of the last bloggers to watch this film, which drove me crazy in the beginning because all the women that appeared in the life of the cinema director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), but at the end I found it amazing. The girls´shows are incredible, and though my favourite one was Marion Cotillard in "Take it all", Fergie in "Be italian" and the sensual Penelope Cruz in "A call from the Vatican", took my breath away too. Nicole Kidman was sublime (she seems to be an angel o something like that) and in my point of view, Kate Hudson kept a low profile. We must stress too the performance of the refined Sophia Loren as the "Mamma" of Guido, and Judi Dench as the tailor of Guido´s films.

The clothes are amazing, from the smart clothes of Marion and Penelope, to the exquisit lace of the Spanish actress and the gown worn by Nicole, who reminds me of Rita Hayworth (Marion does too when she takes is glove off like in the film of Gilda^^).
